THE KEEPER—In this instance "The Keeper" being you, I, and all mankind, who share a world which has been entrusted to us. We are only minding it for the next generation.

NEWFOUNDLAND—There was a time, not too long ago, when men left these shores under sail to reap the ocean's store. It was a perilous life, the only certain thing about the voyage being the departure date.

VALLEY LIGHTS—The energy of youth is a powerful force indeed, particularly when coupled with hope.

OLD MEN & CHILDREN—About that special relationship between the elderly and the young, who seem to have the time to listen to each other's thoughts and stories.

MICKEY'S SONG—Who needs a band when Mickey's at the party?

START & END WITH YOU—A love song.
